Inheritance in Spain (III)

Inheritance in MarbellaThis is our third article we are publishing related to the reduction of inheritance tax in Spain and specifically in Andalusia. This time, we wish to inform you about the reduction in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia when the same property is being inherited consecutively.

Previous articles:

1) Reductions on the inheritance tax for acquisition of a company, business or shares in Spanish companies, as well as Reduction for acquisition of habitual residence.

2) Reduction by relatives of the testator and the reduction of the autonomous community.

Reduction for consecutive transfers mortis causa of the same property

If the same property, whether that be a house, car or funds deposited at a bank account are being transferred twice or more times due to death in favour of the descendant to the second degree or more, the tax base will be deducted by the sum paid for of the previous inheritance taxes.

Multiplier

Nevertheless, take into account that the multiplier depends on the family relationship and the pre-existing equity according to the chart below.

It is understood that the pre-existing equity corresponds to the equity sum known worldwide and not only applicable to Spain.
